DVD script:
The fi rst Olympic Games took place in Greece nearly three thousand years
ago. The Games happened every four years and during the games there were no
wars. So athletes from diff erent countries could travel to and from the Games.
But the Games at that time had only one event – a short race across a stadium.
Then some more events appeared: boxing, wrestling, jumping and others. At that
time only men could participate in the games.
Then the Olympic Games stopped for about 1000 years. Only in 1894 Pierre
de Coubertin of France organized the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
The fi rst modern Olympic Games were in Greece where the fi rst Olympic Games
took place. But women started participating in Games in 1900.
Now there are Winter Olympics, Summer Olympics and Paralympics for
athletes with disabilities. Not so long ago Youth Games appeared for athletes
between the ages of 14 and 18. The winners get medals. Third place wins a
bronze, second place wins a silver and fi rst place gets a gold medal.
